Taught by Nikhil Sud
This course will explore emerging law and policy issues in the realm of technology – in India and key foreign contexts including the U.S. and Europe. Given the increasingly pervasive nature of technology, these issues bring new and critical implications for a wide variety of professionals and businesses including but not only startups and other entrepreneurial initiatives; for society at large; and for the roles that businesses can play in society. These issues also transcend national boundaries, and routinely reflect and influence complex interactions between different nations. The course will address issues including data privacy; free speech and content moderation; competition; and others – and also distill practical skills and insights that cut across the various substantive issues discussed in the course. In doing so, the course will help prepare students to understand, navigate, and shape tech law and policy as part of the business world and more broadly – in India and globally.
